Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Rolls:

  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

Spinach and Ricotta Filling:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (for filling)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Cook spinach: Add spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare filling: In a large bowl, mix spinach mixture with ricotta, feta, Parmesan, one beaten egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Fill and roll: Cut each puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise. Spoon filling along one long edge of each half and roll up tightly like a log. Slice each log into 3–4 rolls. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Egg wash and bake: Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired. Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
